About Jesolo Dance Festival
Dance takes centre stage in Jesolo's summer
The Jesolo Dance Festival, conceived and directed by Maria Meoni, is one of the liveliest dance events of the summer in Jesolo, in the Province of Venice. For several days, the city dedicates itself entirely to dance, training, and performance, with the stage in Piazza Milano and the spaces of the Palacornaro as the main venues.
Workshops, lessons, and renowned teachers
The festival offers days of intensive workshops in various disciplines—classical, modern, contemporary, as well as ballet virtuosity sessions—led by experienced teachers and choreographers. Open to children and young people, it represents a real opportunity for growth for the most talented, with the possibility of pursuing academic or professional paths.
A festival that combines training and performance
According to artistic director Maria Meoni, the initiative "combines training, performance, and sharing" and promotes dance culture. The programme culminates in the grand finale gala, which brings schools and groups from all over Italy to the stage, transforming the event into a major performance open to the public.
